Tamar Geller's mission in life is to teach her cruelty-free method of "life
coaching" for dogs and their people. Her revolutionary play-training uses
mutual understanding and respect -- and puts an end to outdated methods that
rely on physical exhaustion, choke chains, prong collars, dominance
rollovers, or stressful aggression of any kind.

A former Israeli intelligence officer who witnessed the horrors of military
dog training methods, Tamar went on to observe wolves in the wild. She
discovered that wolves educate and socialize their cubs with games, bonding,
and body language, not dominance or punishment. As a result, she developed
teaching systems that address a dog's authentic nature, part wolflike and
part toddlerlike. Learning can be a positive experience that dogs enjoy and
look forward to, and we can actually make it fun for our dogs to listen to
us and behave as we want them to.

Tamar's insights have brought dog training into the twenty-first century,
and her groundbreaking techniques have won the approval of the Humane
Society of the United States, for which she is a longtime advisor. Her
celebrity clients include Oprah Winfrey, Ben Affleck, Courteney Cox-Arquette,
Owen Wilson, and the Osbournes, and she has appeared as an expert on the
Today show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, Animal Planet, and more.

In The Loved Dog, Tamar gives you all the instruction, insights, and tips
you need to teach your dog good manners, as well as to troubleshoot specific
problems and unwanted behaviors. She helps you and your dog learn a common
language, resulting in a loving, respectful relationship that will bring you
years of joy and companionship. Tamar's play-training approach is so gentle,
even children can get involved.
